BROTHERS IN ARMS:
A Story of the Crusades. By F. BAYFORD HARRISON. With 4 full-page
Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
extra, 2_s._ 6_d._
A story which, while it provides exciting incidents and vivid
descriptions, will be of real value to the young reader because of
its containing accurate historical information on the subject of the
Crusades and the doings of Richard the Lion-heart and his army in the
Holy Land. There are few tales which comprise within so brief a
compass, such picturesque representations of life in that olden time,
and such stirring and well-told adventures.
"Full of striking incident, is very fairly illustrated, and may
safely be chosen as sure to prove interesting to young people of
both sexes."--_Guardian._
"Will delight all boyish readers. It is a most thrilling
tale."--_The Record._
"One of the best accounts of the Crusades it has been our privilege
to read. The book cannot fail to interest boys."--_Schoolmistress._
BY JOHN C. HUTCHESON.
THE PENANG PIRATE
And THE LOST PINNACE. By JOHN C. HUTCHESON. With 3 full-page
Illustrations in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._
The first story in this volume deals not with a fictional creation of
the past, but with the real pirates of the present who infest the
Malayan Archipelago and the great water-high ways of the East. In it
the reader will discover how a party of Malayan freebooters were
caught in their own toils and "hoist with their own petard," and how
the gallant ship _Hankow Lin_ voyaged from the Canton river through
the straits of Sunda.
In the second tale the adventures of a party of blue-jackets
belonging to one of the pinnaces of the East African squadron are
narrated. Both stories are founded on fact, and abound in sensational
episode and stirring incident.
